need some advice

nealcj8 · Aug 10, 2010

working on building my new rig I need some advice on brakes, fuel pump, and fuel cell. I've got my old fuel pump that I ran on a TPI motor. I'm going to be running a 6.0 and I still have my old master cylinder It's one of the old Corvette ones. any advice would help.

I run an inline pump(8240 is the number on the pum), Standard half ton chevy master cylinder and a 12 gallon fuel cell.... All of it pieced together works decent.

what kind of fuel pressure does that need to run? power or manuel brakes?

I run the 8248 fuel pump, it pushes plenty for the LSx motors. I think they need to have 55-60psi if I remember right. I run manual brakes on my rig with a mid 60s manual disc master cylinder.....it works pretty good.

I like the aeromotive fuel pumps, mine lasted for five years and is still working as far as I know.
CNC brakes work well, You can buy a complete setup for a few hundred, and be ready to go. Or piece together junk yard parts and hope it works.
Fuel cell buy a decent one, the summit one I had cracked(aluminum). I think jazz has some good cheap cells.

Neal, Alabama hose in Muscle Shoals will build you a fuel cell to your specs. Haven't had a bit of problems with these

The custom cells are usually about the same price as the store bought ones. There is a guy in Greenhill - AL Welding I think is the name that can build them as well as AL hose
